DA SALE - Maine Black Bear, HUGE discount OR TRADEby ~SPWilder

Artisan Crafts / Leatherwork / Taxidermy

So I decided to bring you guys one mad-wicked discount on this bear. It's currently priced at 220$ with shipping but for you guys, I'll drop the price down to $150 with shipping. I'm pretty sure its cape or headdress mountable since it rehydrates well ( tested it on a piece I cut off of the very bottom of it, doesn't effect anything ), has turned ears and there's so much lip and eye ( I'm pretty sure there's enough eye, I can't quite open it up enough to tell but I'm 90% sure ) that it makes *me* happy and I'm not even going to be the one mounting it.

This is a BIG discount; $70 off. The only thing I ask of you is that if you're going to cape mount it, you let me cut off some of the back half for easier shipping purposes - if you let me do that, I'll take another $10 off the total price, bringing it down to $140 - $80 discount!

This is a first-come first-serve sale. 8) Whoever comments or notes me first will get a new reserve listing on Etsy with the discounted price & your DA name in the title so nobody else grabs it. I can't send this to California - as for other states, please know your laws! I won't ship somewhere where it's illegal. Can't ship outside of the USA, sorry!

I'm also willing to do payment plans on it, but it requires a non-refundable down payment for the first one.

EDIT: This is also for trade! Here's a list of things I'd like for it, it can be any combination of anything listed here.

Here's a list of things I'm looking for ( please note that I'll be selling any pelts/pieces and bones I get; my Etsy is the sole source of income for my household, so if you don't want a pelt or bone to be resold, don't put it up for trade for this bear! ):

Pelts ( tanned only )
Mountable skins! Capes would be ideal - if deer, would prefer does.
Head-mountable furs! I'm looking to start making headdresses, so turned ears are REQUIRED, and lots of lip & eyelid would do nicely, but as long as it's got a good face, turned ears, and holds rehydration well, I'll definitely consider it.
WOLF TAILS & FACES. I can't emphasize this enough but WOLF TAILS & FACES.

Taxidermy forms & supplies of all kinds
Change-out heads - Coyote, red fox, wolf, whitetail doe - If you're trading supplies I would REALLY like to get any of these! Coyote is my top priority right now.
Bird forms - pheasant, ducks, quail
Earliners - Coyote, red fox, wolf, whitetail
Hide paste, clay, fleshing knives, borax, scalpels, carving foam, eyes, liqui-cure

Bear has been reserved! If you are interested in further bears I can try to find some for you but I can't guarantee they'll be this cheap.

Damnnnn no shipping out of the Us....

~SPWilder Feb 24, 2013

Yeah, I'm sorry. 8( If you've got a friend in the US who can export it to you, it would be possible to go that route, but I don't have the required permits to do it myself.

~spiritseyes Feb 25, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I understand.... sadly, I don't have any friends there, but may I ask you a question? What is requiered in order to have mermission to sell such stuff worldwide?

~SPWilder Feb 25, 2013

From what I'm aware of, it takes a pretty expensive permit to ship out. 100$ for the permit, plus export/import fees. I'm not sure how expensive those are because I haven't looked it up yet but I've heard that export/import fees can run high... and paperwork. Loooots of paperwork.

~spiritseyes Feb 25, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Aha, I see..... well, I really hope this guy finds a nice home anyway!!!

~SPWilder Feb 25, 2013

Thankyou very much!

what makes it only cape worthy?

~SPWilder Feb 18, 2013

It's missing the back half and doesn't have the claws on it. There's also a few patches of white fur that brush out on it but I don't know if that would effect full-body mounting.

oh man my dream pelt that if i imported would probably cost over $6000 -_-

~SPWilder Feb 17, 2013

Oh no!

That is a looot of money. Sounds like you've got some pretty strict import laws, iish.
